22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if any one is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a mirror: 24 for he recognized himself, and has gone away, and immediately forgot what kind he was. 25 But the one having looked into the perfect law which is the law of liberty, and having remained in it, not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, he shall be happy in his work. 26 But if any one seems to be religious, bridling not his own tongue, but deceiving his own heart, the religion of that man is vain. 27 Pure religion and undefiled with God even the Father is this, to relieve the orphans and widows in their affliction, and keep himself unspotted from the world. James 1:22-27, Godbey New Testament. Public domain.
